Rebrand?

Screen grab those those interested.

I do like the white uniforms. The black is boring, but black always looks at least OK (just despise how slapped on the note looks). I just dont understand the need for the two purples when they are nearly identical. I guess one of them is temporary design that will be replaced by another unnecessary design every 2 years?

Obviously these things are always a matter of taste. For me, I like the black best.

The note and mountain together is ****ing preposterous and why I dislike the black ones. Just make the black ones more music/jazz based. It would be kind of sick to Jazz classic uniform w/ "J' note in a black rendition, not this BS.

I’ll go to my grave insisting that the J-Note is one of the all-time coolest logos across the sporting landscape and could write a 50 page thesis on how the organization has botched that since the beginning of the D-Will era uni’s.

With that being said, these uni’s are an upgrade. It’s evident that the mountain branding is here to stay and I will admit that I think the white uni’s are the best thing they’ve done in awhile. The addition of baby blue on the trim really pops and I’d give those uni’s a “B” grade which should be seen as a massive win for Ryan Smith’s early track record with Jazz uni’s.

Sadly, they massively ****ed up what could have been a home run with the black uni’s. Like you said, just embrace the J-Note awesomeness and give us 1 cool uni that’s all about the J-Note and leave the mountains alone. Giving us a new black mountain uni and slapping the J-Note over it looks like someone was editing in photoshop, never got back to a half finished idea, and decided “screw it, we’re outta time.”

I'll also add that I really really don't like moving away from the note and having the mountain logo on everything. The note is better than the mountains, we should know that by now.

Totally agree with this, along with the yellow, green and purple colorways. I was never a fan of the initial "purple" mountains [they're not really purple btw...] and loved it when we went to the note and original colors...

Is this pic real? Lauri looks huge in it.

I didn't even think about the J note that you and others have said on the black ones, but yeah I can see that now.

My first thought was more the color scheme. I thought the black jersey was a perfect opportunity to use the DWill era light Carolina blue, you see it in the white jersey and I think it'd pop on that black jersey if used just a little to highlight.

Especially since SAC uses black and purple.
 
Once again this is a big swing and a miss for me. I was never a fan of the mountain jerseys and doing a mountain with the note is bad. I don't understand how they keep missing on these jerseys when they already have some great ones in the repertoire. The city addition jersey was a huge hit and should be a regular. Then just the clean jazz note in green, purple, not bright yellow and white older jerseys are winners for me. Just need to add a black note jersey and they would be ready to roll.
